Sorenstam continues hot streak at Hammons Classic

Annika Sorenstam shot a 7-under 64 to take the first-round lead Friday in the John Q. Hammons Hotel Classic in Broken Arrow, Okla., an event she's dominated in recent years.

Regularly sinking putts of 15 feet or more, Sorenstam had eight birdies and tied the course record for the 6,602-yard Cedar Ridge Country Club, set in the tournament's opening round last year by Maria Hjorth.

Sorenstam, the tournament's two-time defending champion, has a two-shot lead over Diana D'Alessio, who birdied her final hole to move to 5 under. Lorena Ochoa and Paula Creamer are among a group of six golfers at 2-under 69.

Sorenstam has won the last two tournaments in which she's played, the State Farm Classic last week in Springfield, Ill., and the TPC of Scandinavia in her native Sweden.

PGA Tour

Arron Oberholser put himself in position to try to add the biggest Canadian title of them all to his Ontario trophy collection.

The 31-year-old Californian, already a three-time winner in the province, shot a 2-under 68 in windy conditions in the Canadian Open in Ancaster, Ontario, for a share of the second-round lead with Jesper Parnevik, Camilo Villegas and Jonathan Byrd.

Oberholser, the Pebble Beach winner in February for his first PGA Tour title, won two Canadian Tour events in Ontario in 1999 and also took the Nationwide Tour's 2002 Canadian PGA at DiamondBack in Richmond Hill.

European Tour

Michelle Wie didn't just fail to make the cut in her latest men's tournament. She finished dead last.

Wie struggled to an 8-over 79 at the European Masters in Crans-Sur-Sierre, Switzerland, missing the cut at a men's event for the ninth time in 10 attempts.

The 16-year-old from Hawaii, who shot a 78 in Thursday's first round, finished at 15-over 157 -- last of the 152 players who completed 36 holes. She was 22 shots off the lead shared by Andrew McLardy, Bradley Dredge and Marcel Siem.
